Help needed (but there's cream teas !)
Discussion
Folks
As is usual at this time of year I have had a phone call from the little old lady from the church (who I find it impossible to say "no" to !) regarding Pistonheads providing half a dozen cars to bolster the numbers for car show at the church fete (St Matthews on the Kettering Road). A few of you have been kind enough to help out in the past and there is always a fairly eclectic mix (from 1938 Singer Le Mans to a full blown vintage Bentley last year).
In the past we have added a certain modern theme to it with a few TVR's, Astons, Lotus and even a Westfield Race Car last year and we are always completely appreciated and offered tea and cake (a nominal charge for the cake !). There is usually loads going on at the fete, with all the usual fete type things, so it's great fun for the wife and kids as well as the rest of us.
It's only on from 1 till 4 and in the past people have also left there cars there and gone off into town etc. and everything has always been perfectly safe (although there have been small sticky finger marks in evidence !).
The problem this year is that it falls the same Saturday as Le Mans (12th June) and I will be in France but if those of you that have helped in the past, and anyone else who could find it in their hearts to help little old ladies and sick children, could find a few hours then I am sure that God will smile on you and you will win some chutney in the raffle.........
Any questions gratefully answered and directions given..........
